Chapter 757


    “I know, but why did you want to coborate with me? Ourpany is small, and coborative parties


    are usually biggerpanies.” Anne had her reservations.

    “Did I not tell you before? It is because we are family. There’s also another important reason…”


    Corentin looked at Ashlynn, who was cing the coffee in front of him.


    “What is it?” Anne asked.


    “My father’s no longer in his best health. I know my father. I wanted to take this opportunity to improve


    my father and brother’s rtionship. No matter how much you defend your father, you will never know


    what they think of each other deep down. Perhaps they just need a bridge to resolve this,” Corentin


    said.


    “My dad ran into an ident and is in aa. What can get my grandpa, whom I had never met


    before, to appear?” Anne was a little sarcastic.


    “He’s an old man and could be a little stubborn. Therefore, I am now trying to be the middle person to


    build that bridge for them. Plus, he did not know that your father had run into an ident that was so


    severe,” he said sincerely.


    “He did not know about it?”


    “As I said, he is no longer healthy. It is better for him not to be triggered by events like this.


    Nevertheless, he knew why I was here and did not stop me. That exins what he thinks about the


    whole situation.” Corentin sipped the coffee and then asked, “Aren’t you curious about what happened


    between them back then?”


    Anne was curious.


    She wanted to know what kind of event led to his father being thrown out of the family, and so much so


    that her grandfather could ignore her father for so many years.


    She took a pause and then said, “Since you are my father’s brother, we could do a kinship test. If there


    is no problem and the senior management agrees, then we can coborate.”


    Even though Anne’spany did not have the power and the money that the Lloyd Group had, she


    still had to have her attitude.


    Plus, the kinship test was essential, just in case.


    “Sure,” Corentin agreed. He looked at the coffee mug in his hand and said, “You can take this and give


    me a call if there is any problem.”


    “Alright.”


    Corentin left. Anne kept his mug and then went to the hospital after work.


    She asked Kathryn to assist with the kinship test.


    She thought that since Corentin agreed to do the test, there should not be any problem with it.


    It was only a procedure to obtain confidence from thepany’s senior management.


    Of course, the management would hope that Anne could proceed with the coboration, and then they


    could sit around and wait to pocket the money.


    However, she also did not wish that they would pick up on any ws or loopholes.


    That night, after Anne apanied Sarah back to the mansion, she received Kathryn’s call, informing


    her that the results of the kinship test were ready.


    The next morning, Anne went to the hospital alone.


    Sarah just recovered, and Anne did not allow her to tag along to the hospital. She asked the nanny to


    keep her on watch and to give her a call if Sarah was not cooperative.


    When she arrived at the hospital, she first went to see her father, then to see Kathryn.


    Kathryn informed her on the phone to say they were biologically rted.


    Anne was not surprised. She brought the reports back to the office and asked Ashlynn to arrange a


    meeting with the senior management.


    When Ashlynn was arranging the documents, she saw the report and its oue.


    “Ms. Vallois, did you question your uncle’s authenticity before?”


    “In fact, I had seen my father’s family portrait before, and I had investigated. My father was indeed the


    eldest son of the Lloyd family. I took it one step further to conduct a kinship test, just in case. After all, it


    is better to be safe than sorry,” Anne said.


    Ashlynn wasforted by the results of the kinship test too.


    The data was convincing evidence that Corentin and Salvatore Yeager were two different persons.


    In the meeting, Anne presented the direction to coborate with the Lloyd Group, and as she expected,


    the senior management supported the idea after the ident. They thought that once the coboration


    was set in stone, they would be able to earn from it.


    Therefore, it did not take much effort from Anne to convince them.


    Anne instructed Ashlynn to distribute the agreement.


    When she reached Mr. Walker, he joked, “Ms. Thompson, is the sea urchin good? Look how good Ms.


    Vallois is to you. She even brought you sea urchins from her trip. You better be working hard!”
